Only time it played up AA came out (Homestart) and found that the collision cut-out had tripped. A quick push and running again. She has suggested replacing it with something modern....I told her quite bluntly that the Honda will outlast her, anything else will be headaches. And yes, it still drives like new, glides along like a small 75  |
SHMBO keeps eying up cars and off course her friends are getting new or newer stuff with all the bells and whistles. The other day she got dropped off by her mate who has some KIA with the voice texting thing and she was so impressed. I asked her the last time she needed to text anybody while she was on the move? She drives 1.8 miles to work 3 days a week and goes to Sainsburys in her 2005 Mini at weekends
. Last year she did 1800 miles.
